Give to Chemistry

To celebrate its 200th Anniversary, the department of Chemistry has set a goal of raising $200,000 for the “Say Yes” fund, which allows the Department Chair to say “Yes” to continued innovation and compelling requests from students and faculty.

Gifts of every amount make a difference. These few examples show how saying “Yes” will have an impact:

$50 Enables us to offer skill-building workshops for the Association of Chemistry Graduate Students, ACGS

$100 Facilitates hosting career panels and networking opportunities for students and industry leaders

$250 Increases our outreach programs in local elementary schools

$500 Expands the Minorities & Women in Science and Engineering (AM_WISE) student group

$1,500* Allows us to bring top chemistry speakers to campus

$2,500 Funds travel for faculty and students to establish and support research collaborations

$5,000 Purchases equipment for teaching and research labs

* Dean’s circle giving level

All gifts to the Department of Chemistry count in the University’s Campaign for Carolina.

To cultivate innovative faculty and student leaders who use molecular tools to address local, national, and global problems.

Safety

The Department of Chemistry is committed to providing a safe and productive environment for both students and staff. The highest standards of scholarship can only be attained in an environment that emphasizes a culture of safety. All laboratories are required to adhere to safety rules and regulations.
